Not a bad room. Fairly easy. Visually pleasing.
Be warned, there are puzzles in this room that no longer work and are therefore no longer part of the game. Rather than removing them from the room, these puzzles are still in there. We had to be clued from the GM a couple of times as we were trying to solve puzzles which were no longer part of the game. We were told to ignore these and move on.
Uncomprehendable.

It was ok and it looks great, but it's quite easy and there's a sound puzzle, which I'm not a huge fan of.

Not Escape Hunt's best game but we loved some of the more story-based puzzles and had a lot of fun.

Brilliantly themed and set up room - there's no mistaking it's a pirate ship! The surroundings and puzzles were perfectly on theme.
This was only our second or third room so most of the puzzles were new to us, but still easy enough to complete as a team of 2 newbies. There was one task that we just could not do - even with a clue from the GM we just could not recreate the sound correctly, in the end we asked for help again, eventually reaching a solution. But good luck with that if you're like us and completely tone deaf. Also, when we went back and did the room next to this one, we could still hear that particular task, that sound haunts us 😂
Overall, brilliant room, brilliant theme, brilliant puzzles, brilliant GM.

The game themes that Escape Hunt have been rolling out sound a little like costume ideas for a children's party: cowboys, vikings, Doctor Who, pirates. Since this is an industry that deals in escapism, that's all to the good, and we eagerly signed up for their Blackbeard game.
Your job is to sneak into the cabin of the recently deceased Captain Blackbeard and swipe his loot before the ship sinks; our gamemaster played the role of our confederate on the outside with gusto. Pirate themes always s...
Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however
